Yeah, I sometimes forget that the law isn’t a code to be broken with this One Neat Trick. That goes double when you are going up against power.

The ToS forbids satirical reviews. I’d start a review by reading out this portion of the ToS and then make a list of things I hate, just saying I’m not allowed to talk about this aspect of the game, or this aspect of the game, etc, etc.
It is not factual that US politicians are reptilians who eat human babies for sustenance. It is, however, true.
$375 million in today’s dollars would cover (adjusted for inflation) the marketing and development of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_games_to_develop
Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.
Thin blue line was not co-opted by the alt right, it’s just straight up fascist and always has been.
My guess is that it’s related to the Weber-Fechner laws of perception. This is the same principle that explains why turning a second light on doesn’t make a room seem twice as bright. Fechner’s formulation is “the intensity of our sensation increases as the logarithm of an increase in energy rather than as rapidly as the increase.”
I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn from history are doomed to watch as those who did not learn repeat it.

I’m useless no matter what OS I use ;)
Fun fact (that I have heard and was not able to verify with a quick search so take this with a grain of salt): the English spoken in the US is closer to the way it was spoken in Britain in the 1700s. The gentry made an intentional change to their pronunciation in response to the rise of the middle class, which filtered down to the masses.
Is there a reason this requirement doesn’t apply to iMessage as well?
As someone from the US, a hearty thank you to Europeans. Not all of these will directly benefit me, but some of it will. Also, Apple has to be so fucking mad that they can’t keep their app store monopoly, even if just in Europe.
They are owned by governments in the sense that they exist at the pleasure of the governments they depend wholly upon. Corporations are legal entities; who administers the law? To use a tech analogy, I’m pointing out that though a file has an “owner”, which is a user account, the true owner is the operating system itself.
I have to admit I’m surprised this is as controversial a take as it is.
All corporations are owned and funded by governments. A corporation must be incorporated somewhere by some government. These corporations benefit from services, grants, and special benefits (e.g. limited liability) provided by that government.
However, I don’t think governments are using this to do mass surveillance on people with VPNs, if only for the reason that there’s not much to be gained by such an action. Most privacy invasion is of the kind people freely allow. Using a VPN doesn’t make logging into Google meaningfully more private. The only groups I can think of that would really want to be able to spy on VPN users would be the MPAA, RIAA, etc, and I don’t think they have the kind of sway to get governments to do that.
But yeah, if you are doing something a three letter government agency will target you over, a VPN ain’t going to cut it.
Yep. But,
sudo tee /usr/local/bin/nvim <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim "$@"
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nvim
(I haven’t tested this, that I use similar code for a different program)
It sure would be nice if flatpak bundled some functionality to do this for you, though.

You’ve got it backwards. Of the two, Windows is closer to the open source ethos. Apple is a total control freak. Obviously both are bad, though.
